Sup, hombres?
I thought I'd let you all get in on the action. I'm alive and very much so.
Well, kinda. I feel groggy and my sore throat is a biatch in it's own self. I was worried that I'd infect the household with my ebola, but it turns out Haley was already coming out of a sickness, so if I cause any damage, it'll probably be minimal OR no one will know it was me (granted, this cough sounds like I have two hundred year old honey stuck in my throat. Picture that!).
Still, I'm glad to be down here and with family. The last time I saw Haley was over the summer and she's already like fifty feet bigger! She's talking a lot, as well. We played with horses (with karate chop action!) for a bit, until Haley had to lay down for a nap. I ended up going upstairs to read (while Eric went to a quick meeting and Aprille laid down as well), and ended up dozing off until I was woken up by the flickering of lights!
"God, zat chuu?" I said, unsure of why he was bothering me.
"Time to get up, Nick." Eric called from the door.
"Oh. You. This makes...I was asleep!? Whooooa!"
"Everyone got a nap, it looks like." Eric comforted the thought that I wasn't alone.
"I just want to let you know that I hope you don't flicker the lights with your kids, because they'll probably have seizures." Eric laughed and went back downstairs.
After I climbed out of the most comfortable bed I've been in since last year (ironically it was the same bed), I made my way downstairs where we decided that we were going to eat out at a Mexican restaurant . Haley danced to the guitar players, I ate my second batch of quesadillas for the day (Eric and I stopped at Taco Bell after I got off the plane).
Then we got ice-cream and I played more horses (with triple kick action now!) with Haley in the car (and subsequently at home). We watched a segment on manta rays on Discovery Channel (note to self: watch more discovery channel when I get home), I dabbled with my Peter David's How to Write Comics book, then played more horses, then Haley lead me upstairs and eventually found herself in bed and I was in my room again, just laying there. Suddenly. I was gone.
I woke up and the room was dark, though I remember the light being on before I fell unconscious. My mind had been bombarded by several strange dreams (the whole sleeping experience was strange, but I remember having a similar experience last year), none of which I remember.
I was afraid everyone was asleep, because I wanted to call Amber. I saw a light on in Eric's room and Aprille came out and told me it was okay to go downstairs (I didn't know if the alarm was set).
And now here I am. Eric and I are sitting with individual laptops and watching The Core (with Aaron Eckhart. Yesss!).
I'll be going to bed soon, but once again. I'm alive. I'm kind of well, and I think it'll be a very relaxing vacation for me.
I'll try to keep you guys updated.
